The CERG had a wonderfully productive evening with our collaborators at the RDLAC in North Woolwich on Thurs evening. This photo of the second Silvertown Session captures some of the intensity of the discussion.

By definition to regenerate is to “improve a place or system so that it is active or producing good results again.” But this definition poses some big questions about what kind of improvements are made and who benefits from the results. Regeneration also means to make a place grow again. But how it grows, and who it grows for, once again poses some big questions.

To help us address these and other questions the Silvertown Sessions present a distinguished panel of speakers and welcome you all to discuss what regeneration means to you.
